Mosquitoes Suck
Last night on my way home on the subway, a mosquito somehow flew onto the train. I got bitten on the back of my left hand just behind my pinky and also on my left wrist. Usually when I get bitten, the area usually flares up a little bit (which is normal for me). The flared areas usually don’t measure more than an inch across.
I woke up this morning and found out that while the flared bites went down, the entire back of my left hand is now swollen. I don’t know if it has to do with the bite, but I think that’s where it’s from. It’s the first time it has happened and I’m not sure if I should be concerned. I put some Tiger Balm on it and my parents are bringing me some Benadryl on their way up.

they suck blood. but only the females. (not an urban legend, this is true.) male mosquitoes have better things to do.
A vampire mosquito!
How’s your hand now?
The swelling went down, but only slightly. I think it’s better, though.
